TCP ASSIGNMENT

Hello GENI index Hello GENI index Hello GENI index

STEPS FOR SETTING UP

Using Omni or Flack to get physical PCs from ProtoGENI:

Done.

Using GENI Portal to get Virtual Machines from instaGENI:

  • 1. Follow the tutorial on SetupAccount to get a GENI Portal Account
  • 2. Follow the instructions on ObtainResources to reserve a topology on GENI Portal
    • Note: choose resource tcp-openvz as the rspec
  • 3. Log onto the reserved nodes following instructions here: LoginToNodes

Done.

Using Omni to get virtual machines from ExoGENI:

Done.

NOTES

Note: when you try to login the nodes, you might encounter errors like the following:

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
@    WARNING: REMOTE HOST IDENTIFICATION HAS CHANGED!     @
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
IT IS POSSIBLE THAT SOMEONE IS DOING SOMETHING NASTY!
Someone could be eavesdropping on you right now (man-in-the-middle attack)!
It is also possible that a host key has just been changed.
The fingerprint for the RSA key sent by the remote host is
12:3b:a0:19:db:b8:62:46:5d:a3:e2:06:27:eb:de:e2.
Please contact your system administrator.
Add correct host key in /Users/shuang/.ssh/known_hosts to get rid of this message.
Offending RSA key in /Users/shuang/.ssh/known_hosts:20
RSA host key for 192.1.242.65 has changed and you have requested strict checking.
Host key verification failed.

This type of error happens when you have previously logged in a machine with the same IP address and that machine happens not to be the same one as the VM you want to log in.
As a result, this error might happen a lot, especially if you have done experiments on ExoGENI before (since it always uses the same IP range for its VMs and each VM is different from each other, i.e., with different RSA keys).
In this case, simply open ~/.ssh/known_hosts and remove the line corresponding to the IP address you are trying to login. In our case here, find 192.1.242.65 and remove that line.
Note that the nodes are ready to login does not mean the interfaces are up and well configured. Users may need to wait for up to 5 minutes after nodes are up.

Difference between ExoGENI, InstaGENI and ProtoGENI in terms of using:

ExoGENI InstaGENI ProtoGENI
VM type KVM VM OpenVZ PC / OpenVZ
RSPEC Need to specify image, IP address, etc. have default image, automatically assigns IP address Same as InstaGENI
Aggregate Manager name begins with eg- name begins with ig- name begins with pg-
Login Method uses root, can only get from using readyToLogin.py and GENI Portal uses your user account name, can get from flack, readyToLogin.py, GENI Portal. Same as InstaGENI
Flack interface can only be accessible if launched from GENI Portal accessible from directly using protogeni.net Same as InstaGENI
Routing and Forwarding user have to manually enable forwarding and adding routing entries (can put in the RSPEC file) the system automatically configures it for the user Same as InstaGENI
Interface names regular interface names, begin with eth virtual interface names, begin with mv, e.g., mv6.47 same as ExoGENI (for PC), InstaGENI (for VM)
Others tc qdisc parameters can be tuned by adding a root netem rule tc qdisc parameters can be tuned by changing an existing netem rule same as ExoGENI (for PC), InstaGENI (for VM)

Next: Run Experiment
